I already have money left in the property and hesitant on sinking anymore in.  .If there isn't much equity, and there is so much to fix to make it livable, why not do a "deed in lieu" with your lender and move on with life?

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Reinforces the reality I thought we were living in vs what my landlord friends who bought in 2020/2021 have been saying to me ie just do it.

You hit on a tough reality.. inheriting tenants who aren’t prepared to pay on time can be one of the biggest curveballs for a landlord.

I don't get where you think there are any Norada sympathizers on this thread.. all your getting is feedback from experienced investors who are pointing out reality of the situation and not rushing to judgement before the facts have come out.

Remember, historically only about 1/3 of LWO/CD buyers close on property, so odd's are you will be with a different finality.And you have to factor that odd's are it wouldn't come back after 3yrs list ready, that's just reality of things.

You're marking the equities to most recent returns, the reality is a real estate investment to live in is a guaranteed rate of return and serves utility. 

But to start with MF that seems like a pretty heavy lift for these folks.Of course you can teach theory but then you have real estate reality..  

@Curt Smith  nice post on the realities ..
